I think the important thing here is the meaning of head as “source”. This completely fits the context.
I have been thinking about the head/body thing and looking again at the context, I don’t think there is a strong case for this connection. After all if a head/body connection is meant we should see it referenced in the following context. There is a strong connection with “source” as the man is the source of the woman and the woman is the source of all men after that, but there doesn’t appear to be any strength for a unity of the head and body in this particular context. With that being the case, I take back my comments about head/body. I think that “source” is the only real connection we can make a real case for from this passage.
Did I really say that I think I was wrong on this one? I will say it again for those who think I know it all. I don’t. After a consideration of the context, although knowing that a connection between God/Christ and man/woman, can be there, there isn’t such a strong connection between all men/Christ except for Christ’s is their creator thus their source.
With that said, I will try to go back to bed and get some much needed sleep 🙂
